VA Pending Payment Compliance Policy

In accordance with Title 38 US Code 3679 subsection (e), this school adopts the following additional provisions for any students using U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Post 9/11 G.I. Bill® (Ch. 33) or Vocational Rehabilitation & Employment (Ch. 31) benefits, while payment to the institution is pending from the VA. This school will not:

• Prevent the student’s enrollment
• Assess a late penalty fee to the student
• Require the student to secure alternative or additional funding (if covered 100% by VA funding)
• Deny the student access to any resources (access to classes, libraries, or other institutional facilities) available to other students who have satisfied their tuition and fee bills to the institution.

However, to qualify for this provision, such students are required to:

• Produce the VA Certificate of Eligibility (COE) or 1905/Purchase Order (Tungsten Network) by the first day of class.
• Complete the electronic VA Benefits Certification Form or submit a written request.

Tuition Protection Plan (optional)

The plan can guarantee a refund of monies paid to the University in the event that the student suffers a serious illness or accident and must withdraw from the University before the term is completed, but after the established withdrawal dates for tuition credit referenced in this section. This elective plan provides coverage for tuition, fees and room and board charges*. No exceptions will be made to the tuition credit (withdrawal) policy for students/parents who elect not to purchase this coverage. For further information, please review the Student Business Services Tuition Protection Plan webpage.

*This plan must be purchased prior to the first day of the term.

Add/Drop/ Withdrawal-Financial Aid

Dropping below full-time or part-time status may affect any financial aid that has been awarded and may result in a balance due to the University. Please refer to the Office of Financial Aid.

Specific procedures for adding or dropping a class must be followed as specified in academic policies and procedures .

A petition to withdraw from the University or drop classes after the tuition credit deadlines does not reduce a student’s financial obligation to the University.

Please note that the dates to withdraw or drop classes for tuition credit differ from those to withdraw or drop classes for academic purposes.

Whether any refund will result from the tuition credit received will depend on the payments that have been made.

Failure to attend class or merely giving notice to an instructor will not be regarded as official notice of drop/add or withdrawal.
